บท 48: Difference between protagonist and villain
"Ophis, I'm going somewhere. If Grayfia is awake, she might have trouble walking, so you should help her."
"And don't forget to bring the food I've prepared on the table for her."
Riser looked at the loli in front of him and pointed at the dining table after saying the last part.
Ophis nodded at that, she saw that there was quite a lot of food on the table. It was definitely not the food she made as she knew Riser cooked it all by himself.
She was surprised that Riser could actually cook, she wondered if the food he made was good?
Looking at the food on the dining table, even from the living room, she could smell the delicious food and made her swallow involuntarily.
Noticing the gaze of Ophis who was staring at the food on the food table in a daze, Riser smiled and added.
"If you want, you can also try the food I made."
"Really?!"
Ophis looked at Riser with her cute loli eyes, oh no, she was already drooling after smelling the food Riser made.
Looking at the excited loli, Riser knew this loli was tempted to eat the food he made.
"Yes, you can eat it, but don't forget to leave some for Grayfia."
"Sure! Master, you can go, Miss Grayfia, don't worry I'll take care of her."
Ophis patted her chest confidently as if to say you can go, you don't have to worry about anything at home.
Unfortunately Riser was not reassured when he saw this, he was worried...
He was worried that Ophis would finish all the food for herself when she first tried it.
The food made with god-level cooking skills, when he first tried it a few minutes ago, even he also felt addicted and found it hard to stop eating because it tasted too good.
Fortunately Riser was good at restraint, so he only ate a little bit before.
"Um... Ophis, you should deliver the food to Grayafia first. Only then can you eat your share at the dining table."
"Uh... Okay, I can do that."
Ophis wondered why Riser seemed so worried about the food?
Isn't it just food? Even if it tastes good, it's not like I'm going to finish it all by myself.
Looking at the loli's confused and naive eyes, Riser shook his head. This loli underestimated the food made by god-level cooking skills.
Well at least he had told Ophis to deliver the food first to Grayafia before she could have her share.
Seeing Riser already driving his car out of the villa.
Ophis immediately ran to the dining table and her eyes lit up.
"It smells so good~"
"I didn't expect villains to be good at cooking various dishes like this."
On the dining table, there were various dishes like chicken soup, fried fish, crispy mushrooms, rice and etc. Each dish smelled so good, it even seemed to have the illusion that it was glowing with special effects.
Remembering what Riser had said before leaving, Ophis immediately separated some of the food for Grayfia and brought it to Riser's room as she seemed to still be asleep there.
Sure enough, seeing Grayfia who was still sleeping naked with only a blanket covering her, Ophis looked at the woman enviously.
Seeing that this room was also like a battlefield, and there was also a strange smell in the air, Ophis knew this was something you would usually find in a place where people had had sex.
But whatever it was, she quickly placed the food on the table in the room and left.
Now he just wanted to go to the dining room and try the food Riser had made!
After sitting in the dining room, Ophis tried the fried chicken and put it in her mouth.
*Boom!
Something exploded inside her, she widened her eyes, everything around her changed as if she was inside an illusion that made her see many giant fried chicken thighs flying in the air.
"Ahhh~~!!!"
A moan also came out of her mouth, it was so good, she was addicted and wanted more!
There were still many dishes in front of her.
Ophis' eyes lit up.
"As expected of a villain, your cooking skills are really wicked hehe..."
"Since you said this woman can eat the rest, then I won't hesitate to eat it all!"
...
Antique Street, one of the best auction houses in Japan.
It is a large building like a five-star hotel made especially for auction events. The items that are auctioned at this place are various and vary depending on the auction schedule that has been announced by the auction house a week before the auction is held.
Riser had just arrived at this place, walking on the red carpet connected to the entrance, he unexpectedly met one of the heroines.
"Mr. Riser?"
A beautiful woman with long straight black hair and heterochromic eyes greeted Riser as he was also about to enter Antique Street.
This woman was Tsubaki Shinra, Riser had seen her at Rias's birthday party, although at that time he had not had the opportunity to chat with her, unexpectedly now the other party took the initiative to greet him.
Tsubaki already knew Riser would also come to this auction, but she was surprised she would meet him by chance at the entrance.
Unlike her who had come to this auction for an ancient mirror, she knew Riser had come here to deal with the protagonist.
Looking at this extremely handsome blond man up close, Tsubaki had to admit in her heart that Riser was the most handsome man she had ever seen.
It's just that I don't understand why a man with this appearance would be the villain, while the protagonist in this world is an ugly man like Issei.
"You are..."
Although Riser already knew who the other party was from the original work, but right now was the first time he met Tsubaki.
So don't forget to pretend!
Seeing Riser's naturally confused expression, Tsubaki couldn't help rolling her eyes.
I believe you're faking it!
With your plot knowledge, I'm sure you already know who I am...
"My name is Tsubaki Shinra, I also happen to have been invited to Rias' birthday party before and I also saw you then."
"This time we happen to meet here, why don't we get to know each other and go together?"
Tsubaki extended her hand while introducing herself, she also did not forget to invite Riser to join the auction with her.
Knowing that it was likely that the protagonist would also participate in the auction, she was naturally worried about the protagonist's halo effect and she felt that it would be safer if she was together with Riser when attending the auction.
Riser naturally wouldn't refuse a beautiful woman who wanted to go with him, he held that white and slender hand before saying:
"So this is the young lady of the Shinra family... I'm Riser Phenex, of course I don't mind going with you. Let's go together, Miss Tsubaki."
Riser was pleased with the other party's initiative to invite him to go together, so he reluctantly agreed to go with her.
System: "...."
[Host, I'm sure this time you're excited and not so reluctant to...]
"System, there are many things in this world that you don't need to say."
The host's answer left her speechless.
Successfully silencing the system in his mind, Riser still kept his smile on the surface.
"Okay, then let's get going, Mr. Riser."
Without hesitation Tsubaki walked straight towards the venue while holding Riser's arm.
Tsubaki is famous on Antique Street, so when the people welcoming guests outside the venue saw them, they immediately welcomed them in.
But for Riser, they didn't know each other well, they just felt very strange.
After all, although Riser was the young master of the Phenex family, not everyone in the majority recognized the face of the young master of the Phenex family.
But to be able to enter with Tsubaki Shinra who happens to be famous for this place, and the relationship between the two is so close, then Riser's identity should not be easy.
Riser who saw people greeting him with polite nods despite not knowing him, was slightly surprised in his heart.
[Strange... Many of these people obviously don't know me, but they're looking at me politely.]
So what's wrong with them looking at you politely? Isn't that nice?
Tsubaki who was walking beside Riser looked at her with strangely.
This is the first time I've seen someone who questions why people look at him politely even though those people don't know him.
Then do you want people to look down on you?
[This is the difference between a villain and a protagonist!]
The heroines: ???
Tsubaki: "...."
Okay let's listen.
[Unlike the protagonist who will always be looked down upon wherever he goes because of his appearance that mocks all living things.]
[Villains with backgrounds that aren't hidden are different! Even if the people here don't know my background, seeing my handsome and clean appearance, they immediately assume I'm not simple and shouldn't be carelessly provoked.]
So that's it...
[Let me guess, the protagonist will come to this auction in his favorite outfit again as if telling people to mock him.]
Puff!
Considering Issei always wears shirts with floral patterns.
The heroines laugh and wonder if Issei never changes his shirt?
Even Tsubaki who always had a rather serious expression, her lips twitched because hold back laughter.
On the other hand, in the room on the top floor of the auction house.
Laughter like heavenly bells rang out in the room.
The woman with purple eyes stared at the venue's monitoring screen with a smile on her face.
The monitoring screen showed Riser and Tsubaki walking together.
"Fufufu so this is villain? He's a cute man~"
The woman licked her lips, not knowing what idea she had in her mind.
...
Organizers are very good at life and instantly set up the front row.
The auction venue was actually located on the first floor of the Antique Street conference hall, and it was no problem to accommodate thousands of people.
There are already some people sitting in the front row, and those who are usually arranged here are basically the leading figures in Tokyo City.
They were no strangers to Tsubaki, but they were not used to Riser's presence.
It seemed like they had never seen such a person, what kind of identity did he have to be so close to the young lady of the Shinra family?
Although curious, they did not come to find out the truth.
If you try to do something rashly, things might not be easy and you might regret it.
They are all veterans, how could they make such low-level mistakes?
However, some people at the venue recognized Riser and wondered if they should come to say hello.
Some of them had met at Rias Gremory's birthday party a few days ago, and some of them had met at the noble banquet held in the past.
And their identities were also unusual.
If Riser knew what they were thinking.
He would be amazed that these people made more sense than the people from the peanut gallery.
At the back of the venue at this time, the host, Suou Himejima, had arrived and was discussing something with a young man wearing a floral shirt.
The two were talking and laughing happily, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
"I didn't expect junior Issei to have such rich experience at his current age, I'm amazed, amazed!"
Suou had the appearance of a rather mischievous old man, but he really had a good eye for people, at least according to himself.
When Issei appeared in front of him, he felt that the other party was an absolute dragon and phoenix, and he should be someone with a big background.
He didn't know why, but he felt like it was as if a voice was whispering to him to support Issei.
So after a short conversation, he found that he was right.
From Issei's conversation and some of his actions, it could be seen that he too was a person who had seen the world.
Being so young must have a very high status, otherwise it would be inexplicable.
Especially the financial resources that were unintentionally revealed by the other party made him very admired.
It is very fortunate to be friends with such a young talent.
Issei smiled lightly, and finally regained the Dragon King's confidence after a long time.
I missed the feeling of being flattered like this.
Coming to the auction this time was actually just for fun.
After arriving at the location, I felt the need to communicate with the organizers here.
If he can establish a relationship with a family of organizers like Himejima, it will be very beneficial to his future development in Tokyo City.
"There are many items in this auction, many of which are antiques, and some rare treasures. Junior Issei can take a look at the list first."
As the host of the event, Suou naturally had a detailed list.
Issei picked it up and glanced at it casually, and was immediately attracted by a piece of jade.
"Huh? This jade is interesting. What's in it?"
It was a piece of jade that resembled a five-pointed star, and there seemed to be something inlaid in the center of the jade.
No, it shouldn't say encrusted, it should say encased in jade.
Suou glanced at it and said, "Oh, there's a key inside. As for what it is, I don't know. Junior Issei is interested in this thing?"
"No, I just feel a little strange. Patriarch Suou, the auction will start soon, right?"
Issei shook his head slightly, and put down the list, always feeling very strange in his heart.
When he saw the jade, no, it should be said that when he saw the key inside, he always felt that this thing was destined for him, as if it belonged to him naturally, and he wanted to get it immediately.
How this feeling came from, he couldn't explain.
But he always believed in his intuition, since he had such a strange feeling, he would shoot it later.
He also saw the starting price of only 50,000.
Since it was a very common jade, it wasn't worth much.
Fifty thousand, most likely because of the mystery of the key.
Come to think of it, it should be quite easy to photograph this thing.
Who knows, Riser is currently eyeing this as well.
It's a battle of opportunity between the protagonist and the ultimate villain!
No matter what, no matter how high the price is, Riser will take this thing.
As long as it can be solved with money, it doesn't matter.
In terms of liquidity, he was confident that he could beat everyone.
...
Seeing her uncle talking to a young man in a floral shirt on the monitoring screen.
The violet-eyed woman who was the boss behind the scenes of Antique Street, she called her subordinates and said:
"Keep an eye on my uncle's interaction with that young man. I want you to secretly be around them to intercept their conversation."
"Yes, Akeno-sama!"
The two women who were originally dressed as ninjas, now their appearance immediately changed to that of ordinary maids. Their appearance deceptive, and their faces deceptive, they immediately went downstairs while pretending to be waitresses serving drinks.
After seeing her subordinates leave, Akeno Himejima immediately turned her attention back to the monitoring screen.
She was still smiling as usual, even when knowing her uncle was interacting with the protagonist.
...
Author note
Good people, I'm really happy and grateful that God is still taking pity on me with the money that failed to be transferred a few days ago has now been completely returned to me. I couldn't help but smile, and suddenly my brain was so clear that I had an epiphany to write a novel. Shi shi shi~ lalalalala~
Since I'm in a good mood, I'm going to update the fanfic "The Heroine Eavesdropped on My Voice Heart", I immediately threw some new chapters in there, but don't expect updates every day because I still have to hoard other new chapters on my patreon. There are also other fanfics, which make me excited to write, well the point is that it's difficulty for me to update multiple novels in one day.
